Reinstalling software is not going to make a difference, it is your
working copy that has the problem. When you ran your ant build it likely
has a step that is deleting a folder or everything in that folder. If
that folder is "versioned", then it contains a folder named ".svn". This
is what makes it a working copy. Once ant deletes that folder, the
working copy is corrupt. The best answer is usually to not have the
folders that contain your build output versioned. But otherwise, you need
to take steps to protect any of your .svn folders.
